## Description

Compact B550 motherboard with direct 8-phase digital VRM, advanced thermal design, dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, WiFi 6E, and 2.5GbE LAN for high-performance AMD Ryzen builds.

Review: Excellent motherboard - This motherboard is excellent. It's very easy to install and connect other components to. The build quality is very good and for the price you can't go wrong. The audio provision is excellent too. More than enough USB ports too. Although you don't see it much once installed, it does look pretty smart. Very good heat detection too for the fans
Review: Great motherboard with better features than most competitors, and for a better price. - I've been running this for almost a year and a half now with a strong CPU and GPU setup. I haven't had any problems, even with it running a high-end RTX. There were no issues swapping over from the previous motherboard at all. In fact, I actually bought this because, unlike the Asus Rog Strix equivalent that I had previously, this motherboard doesn't halve my GPU bandwidth when using both nvme slots, and I'm incredibly glad for it! Plus, it was also cheaper than the somehow worse counterpart from Asus, so that's a great bonus on top! As for fitting it and getting it set up, it was super easy. The cable headers are all placed thoughtfully, which makes it pretty easy to get a tidy look and have no difficulty with the fit. It probably helps that I've got a very roomy case, to be fair, but I don't think I'd have any trouble with a much tighter case due to how well thought-out it is. **There is one relatively minor issue** that could be an irritation if you're using a top-mounted 240/360mm AIO cooler and a smaller case, and that's that the shielding above the CPU can get in the way by just a few mm, preventing you from being able to house the radiator above the motherboard unless you don't mind being a bit forceful and wedging it in there. That's not an issue for my case, but it's worth bearing in mind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant board no AIO header
*by C***E on 24 November 2025*

I ordered this for a pc build that I'm doing and honestly it works great however just as a warning I paid for a new motherboard but was sent a used one it had a memory of a previous used cpu which shouldn't be the case for a new board and came unwrapped with no plastic covering but other than that it works great it was a good price for what it is and works brilliantly in the care that I bought for it. The USBC header on the board in the main feature I bought it for but if you're looking to install an AIO I'd use a different board as it doesn't have an AIO pump header so beware but other than that a very solid choice for a small form factor build.
